Hi Bluesky folks! We're delighted to present our new podcast, Breathe This. We'll be talking about clean indoor air, airborne pathogens, how COVID and long COVID have affected individuals and our society, and how you can protect yourself from airborne pathogens, both individually and as a society.
Young adults with long COVID sometimes have problems getting a diagnosis and convincing healthcare providers that they have long COVID. Ariana Zwern is a young adult who got COVID in 2022 and found that most doctors weren't aware of long COVID. #longcovidawareness
It's #PHANtasticFriday when we highlight clean-air-aware creators and events. This weekend, the Inspire performing arts festival by and for the airborne aware will present a special showing of "Wake Up and Smell the COVID", online and free to the public.
We're celebrating National Public Health Week because clean indoor air IS public health! Cleaning our indoor air and masking in public indoor spaces would prevent millions of infections, not just from COVID-19 but colds, influenza, RSV, HMPV, measles, and many others.
